It is commonly referred to as a local host. It can be set up to develop locally (on your machine) away from your web server. MAMP, WAMP, and LAMP are a few examples that can be set up depending upon the machine you are using. MAC (MAMP), Windows (WAMP), Linux (LAMP). The AMP stands for Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
